Citrus Spring Mix
This lettuce blend's star is red sorrel.
Flavor: Citrusy and tangy with a satisfying crunch.
Health benefit: A great source of fiber to keep you regular.
Tip: Great to eat with meat or pizza as the insoluble fiber will keep your digestion and blood-sugar levels balanced.
Broccoli Microgreens
These broccoli microgreens are so versatile, you can eat them with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Flavor: Bright and earthy.
Health benefit: High levels of chlorophyll will help you cleanse toxins and speed up your metabolism.
Tip: Easy to incorporate, use them as a base for a salad, or fold them into an already-prepared pasta for added nutrition.
Turnips
These bright white turnips are fresh, mild and crisp.
Flavor: As we harvest them when they are small, the flavor is not bitter like other varieties.
Health benefit: High water content not only keeps you hydrated, but also helps your kidneys flush out waste.
Tip: You can store these with the tops on; just keep them in the crisper drawer, wrapped in a damp paper towel.
Parsley
Parsley is a versatile herb, nutritious and great to use raw, in seasonings, or dressings.
Flavor: Fresh and a bit peppery.
Health benefit: Parsley has more vitamin C than oranges!
Tip: Chop and add raw in salad, or add them whole (including stems) to a pitcher of water for added hydration.
Arugula
This arugula is spicy and delicate.
Flavor: Peppery with a kick and tender.
Health benefit: Contains compounds that help the liver detoxify.
Tip: Mix it in with the Citrus Crunch to add a spicy component.
